Him exercising his right to the 15 team no trade clause is within his right and no blame should be held to anyone but to the Rangers for signing that deal. But if he contacted the 16 other teams and said he wouldn't report if traded(the way Larry Brooks stated he did), than that should be grounds for termination of his contract with no penalty to the Rangers. That being said, I think Larry Brooks is talking out of his ass and is amongst the worst NHL reports that exist
@@larrylarry3549I wouldn’t even take him for two million a year. He’s terribly defensively, with massive lapses, can’t contribute offensively, and the team is better when he’s off the ice. Reminds me of Travis Hamonic, but Trouba is apparently a leader and gets suspended more.

Not seeing many comments pointing out that he specifically negotiated that NTC to expire at the end of his wife's residency, but the residency was delayed a year due to covid, hence the current issue. I deeply hate him as a player, but people blaming him for not wanting to move away from his wife and newborn is dumb.
No, there blaming him for grossly underperforming his contract and then supposedly calling all 16 teams not on his no trade list and telling them that if he was traded, he would not report. Trouba left Winnipeg on bad terms too. It's just who he is.
I completely agree that hating him because of his wife is dump, but the only person to blame for that is Trouba himself. He left Winnipeg on bad terms and one of the reasons he had to go to New York was his wife's residency. And now again the rumour is his wife's residency as a reason why he doesn't want to be traded. He seems like a stand up guy for taking his wife's career into consideration, but to me it looks like he jeopardising his own career in the meantime. His NMC turned into NTC on July 1st and he signed it. So unless I'm completely wrong he agreed to the possibility of being traded to the teams not on his no-trade list once that kicked in. No one expected covid to happen and he is not the only one affected by it. Players get traded and a lot of them are not even asked if they want to be traded and id bet that none of them want to move away from their families.
@@OldDistantHermitirrelevant if he called the teams. It’s a scumbag move that puts his family in jeopardy with the rags terminating the contract for breaching it.
If teams can be selfish and treat it purely like a business, so can players. Don’t see why players are expected to sacrifice for teams when teams wouldn’t do the same in return
Torey Krug did this with the Blues last year when they had a deal worked out with Philly and he used his NTC. Heck the Rangers and Blues should get together and try to work a Krug for Trouba trade. Krug's cap hit is a little less than Trouba and he at least offers some scoring upside despite his poor defensive play.
Okay I get why he doesn’t want to be separated from her I really do, but people do it all the time. Especially military families. My husband came back from a year deployment to turn around 2 months later to go to a school for 6 months… guess what we survived. Does it suck yeah but like with his money they can work it out…. Now should the reporter done all that nonsense absolutely not. That is his private life that really has no effect on them being able to trade him to one of the open teams on his list.
Many people with specific talents negotiate with their employers or won't go to a location that they don't want to. Show me a talented MD who will accept being told he his to practice where he or she doesn't want to. The military is a different situation. There is no No Movement Clause. Trouba's agent negotiated one, so he is within his rights.
Trouba signed the contract. He’s grossly overpaid but the Rangers still have to pay him. If the Rangers decide to trade him to a team on his trade list, he has to go. If they waive him and he gets claimed, tough shit for him, he has to go. He’s being paid top line money while providing nothing close to the expected production. If you don’t want to go, play better.
Imagine for a moment how difficult it is to manage a newborn during residency, when the spouse is away more often than not. You need a live in nanny, who can step up when you're called in. I admire the guy for selecting a life partner who isn't more than eye candy. Hockey is over in a few years, their life together will hopefully endure.
military families do it everyday without the live in nanny and 8 million dollar contract. you can move your residency as well, she doesn’t have to finish in new york but she wants to. there’s literally nothing to feel sorry for. also as a med student most residents make it a point to not have a baby until after residency ends.
Yeah, as a Rangers fan I'm really annoyed. Firstly on the positive note he's an impact player that forces opponents to keep their heads up when he's on the ice. That is a valuable assest. Apparently he's a good leader and on a team lacking hard hitting losing their most physical defenseman would be big, also he has a good shot when he uses it and obviously blocks a lot of shots (partially to make up for poor positioning and excessive turnovers)... ...that said playing with an edge and reckless play are different very different things. Clearly Trouba has gotten slower, less effective, always a turnover machine that can't make a freakin breakout pass to save his life and that offense that lured the Rangers to spend a head scratching 8M per vanished when he put on the blue jersey, and now with decreased efficiency the borderline and dirty hits are up to overcompensate for his declining play, penalty minutes are up...and the team is handcuffed...we can't even get Vlad Tarasenko who'd like take a discount to come back to NY because there is no cap f'n space! No option for a top right winger...round out the D....and if we can't get rid of this guy by the deadline next March say good by to future superstar K'Andre Miller.... Trades are part of the deal...he's getting paid 8M, freakin deal with it already! Time to move on
@@ShibaInu154 I hope you’re right, and unless Trouba does a real turnaround If he survives and plays with us next season, he’ll almost certainly be dealt at the deadline.

I’d assume there’s a verbal/handshake agreement that they trade him next offseason, but this has turned into an absolute mess because of Larry Brooks. Just another reason I’ll keep hating “inside reporters”
Just ship him to the islanders, if he really wants to stay around New York for his wife then he should have no issue with that. Even if they’re on his no move list

It's not that big of a deal. People found out she was a doctor and that's why the deal fell through. Whether she likes it or not she's gonna have to take her residency and husband somewhere else
Idk what the problem is he has a no trade clause why is he being attacked for using it doesn’t matter if he had no reason for staying it’s the contract he signed I wouldn’t want to play for some random trash team either
Bro every other traded player in the nhl deals with this every single year. Most of them got families and even kids too. Why the hell should I feel bad for this primadonna and why does he deserve special treatment?
@Imnotactuallyadrinker What a dumb statement all around lmao. You made a blanket statement about physicality, like if we don't have him we won't be physical? Is that your point? Didn't know Trouba was the next Kronwall my bad.. 😆
The GM who signed Trouba to such an insane contract is at fault here. That said, Jeff Gorton has already been fired for such crimes against hockey, so The Heroes of New Amsterdam are just gonna have to suck it up and keep rooting for Captain Chicken Wing to get back to what passes for his game... Now, admittedly, my bias is being a fan of the team whose top player is literally THE FACE of the concussion problem for any fan under 40. But from that biased viewpoint, I hope Trouba's elbow continues to be depowered like it was against the Panthers. I do feel bad for Czar Igor, though, he's getting the full King Henrik treatment when, as far as I can tell, he as a person and player deserves much better.
I at first was thinking on behalf of the organization. Then I remembered the organization agreed to the NTC. Trouba legit has done nothing wrong, Trouba can be traded to any team not on his NTC and he can’t do anything about it. Just nobody wants Trouba atm.

That's why they are probably on his no trade list. I can imagine he doesn't want to have further aggression and intrusion to his life from the fans if he moves to one of the rags rivals
Rangers are becoming a team that cares about business Before a persons health. Also he is your captain who had a injury during the playoffs and now you push him off your team because of a bad performance in the playoffs when everyone sucked for your team. If the rangers trade I will lose every respect for this franchise. GM. STOP putting business first and put family first. Get your shit together.
@@beastofman77 Trouba knows he should be better than he should of been. I’m not a rangers fan at all. But it feels like a pattern with becoming a captain for the rangers. A player that becomes 30+ years old becomes captain over a first overall pick that the rangers drafted a couple years ago comes in and doesn’t get that chance to be a captain for the future. Callahan, McDonough and Trouba are all short term captains.
For people saying the islanders should get him, the only way it could work is if we trade pulock for ehlers because we’re already set on the right side and in order to have the cap space a bad contract like Anders lee would have to go the other way, in other words we don’t need him and the trade wouldn’t benefit either team.
Signing to be an NHL player is like becoming a touring musical artist. You are a public figure and any sense of obligatory privacy is gone. Thats what being paid millions of dollars a years gets ya
This line of thinking is so twisted... especially when used to excuse fans harassing players/celebrities and their families. Where I'm from, being a scumbag is being a scumbag. These people didn't do anything "wrong" in making millions from playing hockey, and I don't see why they should be punished for it.
We love Trouba. We don't love his cap hit. The fact that Drury has actively tried to move him shows they don't really want him on the roster, and as a player that would usually make him agree to a trade and go to a team who wants to pay him to play. At the same time, his wife works in NYC and that was a reason he agreed to sign here from the start. I'm not a husband or a father, but I think anyone who is can agree with what he's doing here and putting his family first. It's an awkward situation, in which the best result for him is being moved to a rival team nearby and hurting the Rangers by doing so. The best result for the Rangers is to get him to accept a trade outside the NY/Metro area, but I don't blame him one bit for sticking to his contract and putting family first. It will certainly make things awkward if he does return as a Ranger, especially as the captain, but if I made even half the money he does I would not care about being booed at work. Shit I'd take 5%
Fabulous. Agree completely. If Trouba ever got dealt to the Islanders Rangers fans would have chant "Trouba Sucks" for the next 50 years after the carnage he wrought.
I'm going to dumb it down even more because my honest initial thought when I seen the thumbnail for this video pop upon my recommended list was "She should start using whatever he is using for his hair because his looks a lot better and much healthier". Now I have to spend at least the rest of today trying to figure out where a thought like that even comes from? I don't even have hair, the "f" I know about what is healthy or not? What sucks even more is that when I went back to look at the thumbnail again in an attempt to find out what could have triggered such a thought, my second reaction was "Well, it is true."
Eck we know youre a Ranger fan...as am i. Close to 40 years. But we dont know how long youve been a Ranger fan, so if you look back at all the garbage "brooksie" has written about our team youll see why hes hated amongst not only the fans, but the management and players. Hence coach Torts lighing his ass up in a post game interview some years back bro. No one likes the guy. Hes another reason why people today distrust the media, both in sports, and politics.
Because they definitely didn't get the President's trophy and make the conference finals because the C was on the third pair? $8M on the third pair is an issue. Trading him will result in $4M for him to play against you. Which is better?
Being a captain is about way more than just being a top player. You know that, right? A bottom-pair guy or a bottom-six forward can still be a great leader, i.e. Jordan Staal in Carolina. That said, I don't believe Trouba is a great leader either.
no movement clauses is a problem.. if i was a player i would also want it, but it prevents certain teams from ever improving.. buffalo not going to the playoffs in 13 years is not a huge mystery, considering they are on every NMC.
Call me crazy but I never wanted him to go anyways. He is not our main problem... In fact what he brings to the table intensity and leadership wise is HUGE for us and ok he had a bad post season but we lost in the conference finals to the cup champs after a OG six franchise best season. We can't sell the farm and our captain at that? I don't understand I feel like a lot of this comes from people in the hockey world in the media and online and within the organization he's a good guy to have around. I mean we did choose him with this core to be our captain for a reason.
And our GM which I'm very very shocked and saddened by honestly didn't even do anything with the money that would have been freed up if trouba was traded. I don't believe there was any talks between us and any of the major free agent names even before this waving of the NMC
The way contracts work in the NHL can be annoying when you're on the receiving end of something like the Nurse or Trouba contract, but I like that the players have more security for a contract than the NFL, which regularly cuts contracts. A player can struggle to demand more money, but NFL teams can yoink at pretty much any time. It feels one sided that one side can underperform and be cut, but overperform and... just be stuck. The NHL sets terms and sticks to it. Part of negotiating 4+ year contracts is considering those what-ifs. Shorten them up for safety or offer incentives instead of solid contract. Do a bridge deal if there have been 1-2 good years. Trouba came off 50 points and the Jets couldn't come to terms and dealt him. Good eye on their part to see they shouldn't jump on a great year as clearly sustainable performance. Very good player, but not holding as much value as he held out for. I feel like Trouba is going to game the system a hair, but that's just part of how it works. As much as he'd probably hate to live in Edmonton (too far away from NYC, cold), I bet he knows they don't need to put another overpaid defenseman on their roster and won't include them on his list (and if he's wrong... cup contender!). Sharks are garbage right now, so easy pick there. Whether or not he wants to play for Islanders or Devils, they'd be close enough to home that he could let them be targets for his family's sake. Effectively, there might be 5 teams in far off locations that he doesn't want to go to that might take him, 5 places that want a veteran that could that he doesn't want, and finding 5 more teams that might take him could be a tall order. Tough to trade, and I'm guessing that his value on the roster is still more than what the Rangers would get back after accounting for the buyout penalty. In the end, Rangers are getting what happens when you buy high, and the Jets are enjoying the return of selling high.
When NYR and Wings both shipped players to San Jose for futures you knew something was in the works, the fact that NYR management from all accounts didn't pull Trouba into the office before those trades and let him know what the plan was is messed up and two teams lose players for nothing. Mike Greer has gotta be smiling at this point (pleasure doing business with you both.)
If Trouba is blocking a deal to a team on his no trade list, I blame Drury for that. The off limit teams have been stipulated and Drury has no business dealing with those teams. If the team isn't on his list, Trouba has to honor the contract that he signed and that's that.
trouba’s wife is a relevant part of the story. if i recall correctly when he wanted out of winnipeg he made it clear he’d only play in new york or new jersey because of her schooling, so it’s entirely possible he will make it difficult to move him, for both him and and his wife’s benefit.
I believe what's happening is that during the past few Rangers' playoff runs, Trouba has been increasingly exposed on the defensive side, and it is becoming more noticeable. This isn't just a Trouba problem; it's a New York Rangers problem. They gave a decent, hard-hitting defenseman more money than he's worth, and now they need a solution. Just an FYI Igor is due for his raise.
The man has 8M a year, just 1 or 2 years of his salary sets him up for the rest of their life, how much money does a family really need to be comfortable. The greed is real in some people. He makes more in a week then i make in a year.
Trouba's wife is studying to be a brain injury specialist. She wants to help struggling hockey players who were elbowed in the head by her husband.
He breaks them; she fixes them. It’s the circle of life.
Solid Shot!

military families do it everyday without the live in nanny and 8 million dollar contract. you can move your residency as well, she doesn’t have to finish in new york but she wants to. there’s literally nothing to feel sorry for. also as a med student most residents make it a point to not have a baby until after residency ends.
How many times are you going to "remind" us of this? I'll bet the walls in your house have heard "THIS FUK'N ARMY"!!! so much they're ready to fall down! -disclaimer: I'm a vet, I know what it's like.
Same thing happened in Winnipeg
Islanders, Devils, and Flyers are all close to NYC
That's why they are probably on his no trade list. I can imagine he doesn't want to have further aggression and intrusion to his life from the fans if he moves to one of the rags rivals
No.
Pittsburgh aswell
Lmfao@@glennhagstedt no, Pittsburgh is nowhere near NYC, go look at a map 😂😂
@@Desert-Father yes, Long Island and New Jersey and Philadelphia are all near NYC
That dog has crazy eyes. The small huskey does as well.

thank you for this video!! well said

Rangers are becoming a team that cares about business Before a persons health. Also he is your captain who had a injury during the playoffs and now you push him off your team because of a bad performance in the playoffs when everyone sucked for your team. If the rangers trade I will lose every respect for this franchise. GM. STOP putting business first and put family first. Get your shit together.
Uh, take a look at Callahan and McDonough. Ranger captains that got traded. And, it wasn't just the playoffs where he sucked. It was the entire season
@@beastofman77 Trouba knows he should be better than he should of been. I’m not a rangers fan at all. But it feels like a pattern with becoming a captain for the rangers. A player that becomes 30+ years old becomes captain over a first overall pick that the rangers drafted a couple years ago comes in and doesn’t get that chance to be a captain for the future. Callahan, McDonough and Trouba are all short term captains.
For people saying the islanders should get him, the only way it could work is if we trade pulock for ehlers because we’re already set on the right side and in order to have the cap space a bad contract like Anders lee would have to go the other way, in other words we don’t need him and the trade wouldn’t benefit either team.
the guy in the background in the head dive into the boards 😯😯😯😯
Signing to be an NHL player is like becoming a touring musical artist. You are a public figure and any sense of obligatory privacy is gone. Thats what being paid millions of dollars a years gets ya
I’ll take it
This line of thinking is so twisted... especially when used to excuse fans harassing players/celebrities and their families. Where I'm from, being a scumbag is being a scumbag. These people didn't do anything "wrong" in making millions from playing hockey, and I don't see why they should be punished for it.
Man its like Privacy is a dunning Kruger effect with money.
GM's deserve it for handing out NTC/NMC like candy. Its insane how prevalent they are
Helps solve cap issues though. How much it's hard to say.
if ur tired of reading about it, don't read it
We love Trouba. We don't love his cap hit. The fact that Drury has actively tried to move him shows they don't really want him on the roster, and as a player that would usually make him agree to a trade and go to a team who wants to pay him to play. At the same time, his wife works in NYC and that was a reason he agreed to sign here from the start. I'm not a husband or a father, but I think anyone who is can agree with what he's doing here and putting his family first. It's an awkward situation, in which the best result for him is being moved to a rival team nearby and hurting the Rangers by doing so. The best result for the Rangers is to get him to accept a trade outside the NY/Metro area, but I don't blame him one bit for sticking to his contract and putting family first. It will certainly make things awkward if he does return as a Ranger, especially as the captain, but if I made even half the money he does I would not care about being booed at work. Shit I'd take 5%
Fabulous. Agree completely. If Trouba ever got dealt to the Islanders Rangers fans would have chant "Trouba Sucks" for the next 50 years after the carnage he wrought.
@@ShibaInu154 No, we wouldn't care nearly that much. This isn't Tavares.
nice shoresy reference
I'm going to dumb it down even more because my honest initial thought when I seen the thumbnail for this video pop upon my recommended list was "She should start using whatever he is using for his hair because his looks a lot better and much healthier". Now I have to spend at least the rest of today trying to figure out where a thought like that even comes from? I don't even have hair, the "f" I know about what is healthy or not? What sucks even more is that when I went back to look at the thumbnail again in an attempt to find out what could have triggered such a thought, my second reaction was "Well, it is true."
Is manner gone and ur the best/goat of RUclips
I read that title in Shorseys voice
Eck we know youre a Ranger fan...as am i. Close to 40 years. But we dont know how long youve been a Ranger fan, so if you look back at all the garbage "brooksie" has written about our team youll see why hes hated amongst not only the fans, but the management and players. Hence coach Torts lighing his ass up in a post game interview some years back bro. No one likes the guy. Hes another reason why people today distrust the media, both in sports, and politics.
Well said. Brooks has contradicted himself more in 1 season than the last 9 US Presidents together. The fan base (including me) can't stand him.
@jloki9259 haha very well put!! And yes he has! Guys a cancer for NY sports, especially our Rangers
“May make it difficult” lol. What does that even mean. Either you report and play or your contract is void.
It would be a little less problematic if they hadn't made Trouba captain. You can't have your captain playing on the third pair of D men.
Because they definitely didn't get the President's trophy and make the conference finals because the C was on the third pair? $8M on the third pair is an issue. Trading him will result in $4M for him to play against you. Which is better?
@@alanpaul9481Seeing how he plays against other teams, having to play against him wouldn’t be that bad (aside from the elbows.)
Being a captain is about way more than just being a top player. You know that, right? A bottom-pair guy or a bottom-six forward can still be a great leader, i.e. Jordan Staal in Carolina.
That said, I don't believe Trouba is a great leader either.
@@davidsong8497 I think it's easier be thought of a leader from a more prominent position in the lineup.
@@WakkoKakko if he goes it will probably be to another division where they may not ever see him again.
no movement clauses is a problem.. if i was a player i would also want it, but it prevents certain teams from ever improving.. buffalo not going to the playoffs in 13 years is not a huge mystery, considering they are on every NMC.
How do you end the season with a -4 with the season the Rangers had? 😅😂
The dog has the BAU BAU look on his face. If you know, you know what I’m talking about.
If I making $8mill/year... I'm marrying someone that will stay home and raise our newborn child...
His dog is cute 😂
Trouba is a clown bro, 3rd pairing d worth 8 mil, that’s worse than the Nurse contract.
Call me crazy but I never wanted him to go anyways. He is not our main problem... In fact what he brings to the table intensity and leadership wise is HUGE for us and ok he had a bad post season but we lost in the conference finals to the cup champs after a OG six franchise best season. We can't sell the farm and our captain at that? I don't understand I feel like a lot of this comes from people in the hockey world in the media and online and within the organization he's a good guy to have around. I mean we did choose him with this core to be our captain for a reason.
And our GM which I'm very very shocked and saddened by honestly didn't even do anything with the money that would have been freed up if trouba was traded. I don't believe there was any talks between us and any of the major free agent names even before this waving of the NMC
Brooks is the NY version of Simmons.
Did Trouba elbow his dog too?
This dog is so SO SO CUTE
The way contracts work in the NHL can be annoying when you're on the receiving end of something like the Nurse or Trouba contract, but I like that the players have more security for a contract than the NFL, which regularly cuts contracts. A player can struggle to demand more money, but NFL teams can yoink at pretty much any time. It feels one sided that one side can underperform and be cut, but overperform and... just be stuck. The NHL sets terms and sticks to it.
Part of negotiating 4+ year contracts is considering those what-ifs. Shorten them up for safety or offer incentives instead of solid contract. Do a bridge deal if there have been 1-2 good years. Trouba came off 50 points and the Jets couldn't come to terms and dealt him. Good eye on their part to see they shouldn't jump on a great year as clearly sustainable performance. Very good player, but not holding as much value as he held out for.
I feel like Trouba is going to game the system a hair, but that's just part of how it works. As much as he'd probably hate to live in Edmonton (too far away from NYC, cold), I bet he knows they don't need to put another overpaid defenseman on their roster and won't include them on his list (and if he's wrong... cup contender!). Sharks are garbage right now, so easy pick there. Whether or not he wants to play for Islanders or Devils, they'd be close enough to home that he could let them be targets for his family's sake. Effectively, there might be 5 teams in far off locations that he doesn't want to go to that might take him, 5 places that want a veteran that could that he doesn't want, and finding 5 more teams that might take him could be a tall order. Tough to trade, and I'm guessing that his value on the roster is still more than what the Rangers would get back after accounting for the buyout penalty.
In the end, Rangers are getting what happens when you buy high, and the Jets are enjoying the return of selling high.
When NYR and Wings both shipped players to San Jose for futures you knew something was in the works, the fact that NYR management from all accounts didn't pull Trouba into the office before those trades and let him know what the plan was is messed up and two teams lose players for nothing. Mike Greer has gotta be smiling at this point (pleasure doing business with you both.)
The dog looks like the clown from happy gilmore
This dog has crazy eyes
Crazy thumbnail
If Trouba is blocking a deal to a team on his no trade list, I blame Drury for that. The off limit teams have been stipulated and Drury has no business dealing with those teams. If the team isn't on his list, Trouba has to honor the contract that he signed and that's that.
Sounds like another Blake Wheeler situation
The Rangers want Trouba out. What did Stamkos say about TB? “You’re trying to hang on to something that doesn’t want to hang on to you".
Troubas dog is such a W
I heard that Detroit was trying to pick him up. Not sure where thats going.
No shot that dog isnt a taxidermied dog
BBQ Bruce
They should come to Buffalo. Plenty of blooming hospitals and research centers here for medical reasons. We could use his physicality.
Elbow man
trouba’s wife is a relevant part of the story. if i recall correctly when he wanted out of winnipeg he made it clear he’d only play in new york or new jersey because of her schooling, so it’s entirely possible he will make it difficult to move him, for both him and and his wife’s benefit.
Dude is cucked. If I'm a $8mill/yeae NHL stud. I'm marrying someone who wants to stay at home and raise my newborn child.
His dog looks like a demon in that photo
By handing out that shit contract, the Rags made this bed. Now they get to sleep in it. Shit like this is why they'll never win the cup again.
I believe what's happening is that during the past few Rangers' playoff runs, Trouba has been increasingly exposed on the defensive side, and it is becoming more noticeable. This isn't just a Trouba problem; it's a New York Rangers problem. They gave a decent, hard-hitting defenseman more money than he's worth, and now they need a solution. Just an FYI Igor is due for his raise.
As a Ranger's fan I don't like Trouba because apparently when he's playing injured and in pain he makes dumb playoff game costing penalties.
1:12 I am sure Aimo Koivunen is born again as Trouba's dog.
It’s called job security for his wife after the show lol
The man has 8M a year, just 1 or 2 years of his salary sets him up for the rest of their life, how much money does a family really need to be comfortable.
The greed is real in some people.
He makes more in a week then i make in a year.
@@glennhagstedt And he's "greedy" cause he makes more than you and wants his contract honored?
Dude is cucked. If I'm a $8mill/yeae NHL stud. I'm marrying someone who wants to stay at home and raise my newborn child.
@@glennhagstedtright? She just had a baby too.
Stay home and raise your child.
He should exercise his no bowel movement clause
If he's exercising his no trade clause, that's within his right to do so. The Rangers have only themselves to blame for giving him that contract lol.
